Note: If thousands of addresses have been learned on a port and a link in the hunt group goes down, the switch-over of traffic between ports may take several seconds.

Note: If you use static VLAN binding and hunt groups, make sure to first bind all the VLANs to all the ports that you will use in the hunt group and then apply the hunt group to those ports.
